Totoro’s Home in Suginami
An interesting article popped up on the Japan times yesterday about a park in Suginami-ward that has reopened as a place “that would make visitors feel [like] Totoro would live there”.
Drawing inspiration from the acclaimed Miyazaki Hayao animation “My Neighbor Totoro”, this park, which includes a house that was modeled after the home in the movie, has over 100 kinds of plants and spans 840 square meters in the Asagaya neighborhood of Suginami-ward. The house was originally 100-years old, but burned down due to a fire in 2009. Last Sunday however, the park has reopened to the public.
I plan to find this park. And I plan to find Totoro. Who’s in?
